 ==Reception==
 Anticipation for the mod was high, and as a result it was highly praised for the return of the classic Half-Life mod into an HD makeover, as well introducing new mechanics such as special attacks and  updating the blocking system by adding the shield bash and the parrying feature.

	Comparatively to [[Pirates, Vikings and Knights]], the sequel has brought a handful of new features to give depth to it's gameplay. Players can now hold their melee weapons to prepare attacks, while in the prequel all melee weapons worked exactly like the crowbar in Half-Life. Blocking was now available to any melee weapon, and shields were improved with the introduction of shield bash and parrying; shield bash can stun any player who's too close to the Heavy Knight (or any upcoming class with said future) and parrying, also exclusive to shields, when done correctly, stuns the enemy and gives to the player the opportunity to fight back with the weapon/shield combo.
